All Hallows Read - October 25th!!!

The idea behind it is very simple: On October 25th get out there and give someone a scary book! Who doesn't like scary books? And what's a better occasion to gift someone a bone-chilling read?

I personally LOVE all sorts of scary books. I grew up reading Stephen King (SK's It was my first adult novel I ever read - before that I was totally addicted to RL Stine'sFear Street series and to The X Files novellas based on TV episodes - don't judge me! I had a THING for David Duchovny lol). I spent long summer hours devouring books by Graham Masterton, Dean Koontz, Brian Lumley and James Herbert. Yes, my lovely pumpkins, I was an horror/thriller junkie! And I still am! So when I heard about All Hallows Read I was thrilled and excited, I knew I had to participate!

The awesome people @HarperTeen are running a Book Drop on October 25th where they randomly drop scary books at various locations across NYC. And now, thanks to the wonderful peeps @HarperCollinsCA, we have our own Canadian version of it!

In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories is a book I received from Harper Collins Canada to drop at a location of my choice. They sent me a book and asked me to drop it somewhere, to treat one randomly (or not) picked kid with a scary book filled with beautiful illustrations. How cool is that?!
I decided to drop it at the Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto. I will also be dropping one more book sponsored by me - cause giving away two books feels better than giving away one :)
